Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Sausage Ricotta Honey Hot Pizza:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
3. Add Olive Oil: Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
4. Spread Ricotta: Evenly spread the ricotta cheese over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
5. Add Sausage and Mozzarella: Scatter the cooked sausage and shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
6. Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the toppings to enhance the flavors.
7. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Drizzle with Honey: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle honey over the top. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish: Finish with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch and extra flavor.
